A CRAZY FRESHMAN
Tries to Blow Up she British Steam
 MhfpH nuaon

l ship Queen.
 NEW YORK, Aug 3.-A crazy Irishman | tried today to blow up the British ocean steamer Queen of the National line. He rowed this afternoon in a small boat along
 side the Queen at pier 39, North river, and
 threw bottle of some kind of explosive on
 board. An explosion followed which set fire
 to the steamer. The flames, however, were
 soon extinguished. The police in a row boat
 went in pursuit of the fellow, who put out
 for the New Jersey shore. They captured
 him before he succeeded in making landing
 and brought him to the police headauarters
 He said he was one of band of men that
 had effected an organization having for it's
 object the destruction by explosives of every
 vessel that carried the British flag. Later
 the prisoner was taken to the Jefferson Market police court for examination. In court he said he was Conrad Mooney, thirty seven years old, and lived at 267 Warren street, Brooklyn.
 When Mooney was searched loaded revol- 1 yer, box of cartridges and dagger were found. In his pockets were also found news paper clippings with reference to the Cana | dian fishing troubles and the original copy of | the incendiary proclamation of warning to l the British. Mooney said to the court: q l think that great injustice has been done to | citizens of the United States. We have as | much right to tear down the English flags as | the Britishers have to haul down the Ameri- | can banner. The English act as devils and | expect us to be saints'' Mooney is slightly | bald. His hair is light color. He had | blonde moustache. He wore suit of grey I cloth and carried his coat on his arM ''Last | year," he broke out again, Gan American flag was hauled down by Captain Quigley I say | the American flag must be respected" He | was committed to await examination so that | he could consult counsel.

A Plague Of Sudden Death at Nan Kin
 and People Dying tn Every Quarter.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-The Occidental and Oriental steamer Gaelic arrived last night from the Orient after very quick passage of fourteen days. She brings Yokohama papers up to July 19, and China news up to July II The Chinese native papers contain the fol- lowing items A plague of sudden death is raging at Nankin. People are dying in every quarter, and there are many instances of very sudden deaths. The people are apparently we'll in the morning and dead in the after noon.
 The Hu Poe says that over one thousand telegraph poles belonging to the Munanan Mingtaz district and Krveichow Lane line have been pulled down by the people, who say the telegraph is diabolical European ar tifce The troops to the number of two thousand have been ordered to the spot.
 Last week, according to the Shen Pao, no less than eighty-eig persons were summari- ly executed near Shanghai for belonging to secret societies.
 The Shen Pao gives the most narrowing accounts of floods at Gnu Chou Flu, up the Wenchow river. Over one thousand human beings have been swept away, and the de- struction of growing crops is immense.
 s. s. Popof, Chinese secretary to the Rus- sian legation at Pekin, has just published a pamphlet on .he Chinese population, in which he states it to be 382, 900, ,000, as against 413, 900, 900 in the year 1942. His statistics are derived from Chinese officials.

A School Teachers PeriIous Ad-
 venture.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug. 3.-Eugene Har- ley, thirty-five years old, Vermont school teacher, was passenger on the steamer Pill grim from Fall River to New York Monday night. He was sitting on the hurricane deck aft, near the rail, and when between Beaver Tail and Point Judith a lurch of the big steamer sent him overheard. It was between 9 and 10 o'clock, and no one saw him go, and nobody missed him. He reached the water all right and made himself as comfortable as the heavy sea would permit. He barely es- capped being run down by the Sound steamer from this city, but managed to swim out of her way. He had been in the water about an hour when the schooner E. M. Reed, Captain Parker, from Baltimore for this city, came along, heard his cries and picked him up wet and fatigued. He reached this city refreshed and in good condition.

Frying and Travel Resumed.
 GREENFIELD, Mass, Aug. 3.-A gang of upwards of one hundred men is at work re- pairing damages along the Fitchburg line between Miller's Falls and Frying village to- day. Two and one-half miles east of Miller's Falls the west track has washout ten feet deep and twelve feet wide. One hundred rods east of this point the western track for thirty feet has settled fully five feet and the roadbed underneath is gullied to a depth of ten feet. Near this point is small mountain brook (which passes under the tracks through a culvert which still remains, though just be- yond the track the torrent has made a gully forty feet wide and fifty feet long to the river. Ten feet further east section of the roadbed fifteen feet long and ten feet deep is washed away. There are several other washouts between this point and the ''Bank Wall" trestle from four to ten feet wide by eight to ten deep. On the south side just before reaching the trestle for a distance of tour hundred feet the surface water forms 8 brook six inches deep and four feet wide which passes along close to the track. At one point on the south side of the road 1n Rocky Mountain gorge where a small
 
 wide, tumbling in cataracts, 8 volume of water fully five feet deep running with Ire. mendous force through the culvert. Damage is caused mainly from surface water In re- pairing to-day the trestle is being removed to the solid bottom on which the foundations are laid, and on these heavy logs pieces of chestnut and pine rest supporting heavy timbers on which the track is to be laid. Chief Engineer Turner said to day that the company expected to have the trestIe repaired so trains could cross by night if the rain held off, but to do this will require a herculean effort, for fully seventy-fve feet must be trestled this afternoon besides laying solid foundations. It will be impossible to use the track for some days until the filling which was washed out second time is again put into shape.
 BOSTON, Aug. 3.-The Fitchburg railroad officials announce that the washout on the line of the road caused by last nights storm at Frying has been repaired and all trains are now running on time.

THE NEW TARIFF IN MEXICO.
An Era of Prosperity Looked for
 URder the New Regime.

Am Era of Prosperity Looked for
 URder the New Regime.
 CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 3.-The treasury officials are greatly pleased with the outlook for the success of the new tariff put in force July 1. The tariff has now been in operation a month and the results are justifying the ex- pectations of it's originators. At Vera Cruz goods are piling up in the storehouses in such quantities as to tax the capacity of freight trains and the merchants of that port believe prosperity is assured. Heavy con- signments of American and European goods are coming to the city. Passenger traffic continues good on all lines. The construe- tion of the main line of the National railway is being actively pushed, but on the south ern division some trouble has been had with the washouts. Treasury officials predict that the Vera Cruz custom house will show 8 large increase in receipts this fiscal year and some predict an increase from the Paso del Norte custom house. The increase in the government revenues makes it easy to meet the interest on the foreign debt and the country was never in better condition. Finance Minister Dublan reports B cash balance for the last fiscal year most in this country.

The Hanlan.Gaudaur Race.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The report sent out by the Associated Press of the Gaudaur- -Hsnlan race which took place July 23 at Pullman, in which J. A. St. John was charged with hay ing ordered Gaudaur to lose, was incorrect in that particular and did that gentleman great injustice. The facts were that Mr. St. John ordered Gaudaur, regardless of the condition of the water, to obey the order of the referee and to win if possible E,sa-a is no reason to doubt that this race, like every other with which MT. St. John and Gaudaur have been connected, was rowed strictly on the merits of the men. It was an error in judgment on the part of the referee to have sent the men out on rough water and in the gathering darkness The oarsmen had no appeal and were in no way responsible for the very un- satisfactory result.
